"...our experience is weird now...something weird and thrice-removed from the real world..
What is at stake is in many ways human agency the way we experience the world.

or watch a marvelously put together documentary about the death of egrets.
I have already experienced the smooth documentary so many times that it becomes quickly incoherent to talk about an
extra-mediated or extra-televisual reality.

I can go to the ocean I've never seen before but I've spent a 1,000 hours.
